...﻿ The Mongol empire of the 1200s remains a sort of anomaly to this day. Their unconventional war tactics and nomadic way of life defied all other empires that were in existence at the time. However, their strategies proved extremely successful, and they were able to establish the largest empire the world had ever seen in a mere 20 year span. The unification of Asia (excluding India) under the strict rule of the Mongols brought about a period of relative peace and of economic improvement. While there were some negative factors due to Mongol reign, such as the spread of the black plague, they were far overshadowed by the improvements experienced by Asia as a whole.
The main reason for the initial success of the Mongols was their style of warfare. Being a nomadic tribe, they relied heavily on horses to maintain their land, and became extraordinary horsemen. Horses were not heavily used in combat in the rest of Asia, giving the Mongols an advantage over their enemies. Document 1 shows the extent of the Mongol empire at its height, which further goes to prove the effectiveness of these new strategies. Documents 2 and 3 attest to the potency of Mongol raids. Document two describes the very organized military structure of generals and captains ruling over the rest of the army. It also describes the severe consequences suffered if the warriors were to abandon the battle. This requirement to fight until the end of the battle made the Mongols formidable opponents,...

Ancient World: Civilizations and Religion
Thousands of years ago, Ancient River Civilizations were thriving. At the time, they were like Paris, France, London, England or New York, New York; they were the places everyone wanted to be. These river civilizations established farming, formal religious rituals, governments, and writing and with all of these put together, they eventually became popular cities that created technology that made life much easier. You might have heard of many of these well known ancient civilizations such as: Mesopotamia, Egypt, India, and China. None of these civilizations would have been known if they hadn't made use of the technology and ways of living they developed.
Ancient Mesopotamia, located between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers1, is one of the many well known river civilizations. Ancient Mesopotamia consisted of city states including Assyria, Babylon, and many others. According to Document #1, at around 600BC, Assyrian physicians came up with the brilliant idea of using bandages to reduce swelling and to heal wounds. Might this be where the creation of "Band-Aids" started? It's always a possibility; the Ancient Mesopotamians created this thousands of years ago and we kept the invention growing...

...throwers) onto the battlefield. Horses are believed to have originated on the Eurasian steppes and had no practical human use other than as a food source. They were acquired from nomadic tribes by city/states of Mesopotamia and were domesticated solely to pull chariots. Mounted soldiers did not appear until much later in history and the chariot was an advanced
weapon of war long before their adoption. Chariots were not utilized as a general conveyance by members of the public and charioteers were viewed as elite forces and valued far more than the common soldier. As wars became common between the different societies, the chariot was adopted and utilized by the military forces. Over time, chariots became common in Europe, the Middle East, India, and China. They are depicted in many drawings of royalty and were symbols of power.
C. Two (2) significant environment and/or geographic factors that contributed to the expansion and/or development of the United States are the Mississippi River Valley and the prolonged drought that created what came to be known as the ‘Dust Bowl”. The value of the Mississippi River was recognized early in America’s history by both James Madison and Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson felt so strongly about acquiring the New Orleans port and Louisiana area that he was willing to challenge France’s Napoleon for it if necessary. It’s 2,000 miles of navigable waterway, as well as the additional 3,000 navigable miles...

Period 1
Era of Good Feelings
The period of history after the War of 1812 was an “Era of Good Feelings” and “Era of Bad Feelings”. The spirit of nationalism and the American system brought about a positive aura during this time. However, there were negative aspects of this time period, especially with slavery.
Era of Good Feelings did occur a few times after the War of 1812. Nationalism (C) being one because Americans proved to themselves that they can stand up for what they felt was right. Soldiers and generals got treated with more respect than before. After defeating Napoleon, America looked west to further expand. Washington D.C. rose from the ashes and the navy and army strengthened themselves. In the document people were celebrating from fighting a long and hard war and winning. Then there was the American system that brought good feelings (B). That was established by Henry Clay. The system began with a strong banking system. It believed in a protective tariff behind which eastern manufacturing would succeed. It also included a network of roads and canals to be funded for by the tariffs, and through which would flow food and raw materials anywhere. In document B, John C. Calhoun says “Let us, then, bind the republic together with a perfect system of rails and canals. Let us conquer space.” He supports the American system and thinks it will be very successful and we have many things to look forward to. Next was...

...to be demilitarized to create a buffer zone between Germany and France. Germany was also only allowed to have a small army of 100,000 men. It was also not allowed to have any submarines, tanks or planes. These terms were intended to make Germany so weak that it would not be able to start future wars.
Another aim of the Allies was to make Germany pay for the huge costs of World War One. The war caused unprecedented damage and losses to all parties. Germany was made the scapegoat as it was the loser. The treaty contained the war guilt clause, which made Germany accept the full blame for the war. As a result, it had to pay reparations to the Allies to compensate for war damages. The amount worked out to an astronomical 6,600 million pounds! As the Allies suffered heavy losses, they wanted to make Germany compensate them.
Another aim of the Allies was to prevent a war of this scale from happening again. The countries in Europe were so devastated by the war that they had to spend millions and years to rebuild their countries. To avoid such devastation, the League of Nations was set up to help ensure world peace. The League was an international organization that worked on the idea of ‘collective security’. Countries would work together to punish aggressor nations so that they would not start wars. The League was also a platform for countries to resolve their disputes so that minor disagreements would not blow up into full-scale wars. Hence, the...

...World War 1 DBQ
Prior to the start of World War 1, several countries in Europe were fixated on being the dominant country in Europe, seeking to hold the top position on the social hierarchy among the European nations. After the Age of Imperialism, many Europeans took great pride in their countries’ growth and prosperity. The most powerful countries in Europe at the beginning of the 20th century were becoming wealthier due to the trade from African colonies, while other countries (without income or revenue from colonies) struggled to achieve the same success. A strong sense of militarism in European countries and their root causes from alliances and rivalries contributed to the start of World War One. European countries passionate nationalism and need to show their dominance over other countries were the validation for many of their actions causing WW1. However, the most important underlying cause of World War 1 was militarism in European nations.
During the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, European countries raced to imperialize Africa for the raw materials needed for Industrialization. Colonies offered their parent country cheap materials, political influence, and affluence. Great Britain, alone, had more than ten times the amount of colonies than Germany before the beginning of WWI (Doc 11). France and Great Britain already established “empires” in Europe and Germany was intent on having one as well....
